After I exited the main hall, I found that there was no other door for entry and exit in this Taoist temple.
From this point of view, there should be a back door in the main hall, leading to the Taoist temple.
After going in and searching carefully, I found a wooden door behind the curtain on the right side of the hall.
After pushing it gently, I found that the door was not locked.
I walked in quietly.
This looks like a storage room. There is an iron shelf in the room, with tribute incense and yellow mounting paper placed on the shelf.
There is another wooden door at the other end of the room, which is also closed.
I walked over and pushed it gently, revealing a gap in the wooden door, but then there was a crisp "ding" sound.
Someone hung a security bell on the door.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps and the swaying beam of a flashlight from the door.
I quickly turned around and ran towards the main hall.
Because I was carrying Dongzi on my back, I ran out of the storage room and just entered the main hall. I accidentally knocked over the merit box placed next to the futon, making a loud "clang" sound.
The inner door of the storage room made a soft "squeak" sound, and the person inside had already come out.
It was too late to run out now, so I quickly poured my energy into my hands, unlocked the iron lock on the merit box, grabbed two apples from the altar table, and threw them outside the hall, while I
He ducked behind the statue.
As soon as he hid himself, the flashlight beam flashed, and a middle-aged Taoist priest chased him out of the storage room.
The two apples I threw rolled down the steps, making a muffled sound.
The middle-aged Taoist priest waved the flashlight around the hall, lifted up the merit box that had fallen on the ground, used the flashlight to look carefully at the iron lock that I had twisted, and then chased outside the hall.
"Little thief, you dare to come to my Liuyun Temple to steal the merit box!" The middle-aged Taoist priest cursed.
I breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take advantage of this opportunity to go in quickly while carrying Dongzi on my back.
But after thinking about it, it is extremely inconvenient to carry Dongzi in. He has no consciousness at all now. If I encounter danger, I still want to protect him, so why not hide him behind this stone statue first, and wait until I find his soul?
Then bring his soul here to recover.
The most dangerous place is often the safest place. No matter who the other party is, they would never have thought that I hid Dongzi's body behind this stone statue.
I gently placed Dongzi on the ground and lay down. There happened to be many old and new curtains hanging behind the stone statue, with words such as "response to requests" written on them. They were probably sent by the villagers here.
The curtain was so long that it even reached the ground and there was still a lot of excess.
I gently pulled the curtain, trying not to let it shake, and after covering Dongzi completely, I dodged into the storage room and entered through the door with the anti-theft bell hanging on it.
As soon as he walked out of the door, the light of the flashlight flashed over, and the middle-aged Taoist priest entered the hall cursing.
"You bastard can sneak away so fast. You will feel better when Immortal Liuyun finishes his work!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest muttered and walked inside.
Behind the door is a courtyard with courtyard walls on both sides. On the right is a row of houses, which seem to be the houses where Taoist priests live.
There is a gap as wide as one person between the row of houses and the main hall. The ditch is wet and overgrown with weeds. It should be the drainage ditch between the two houses.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the Taoist priest had already entered the storage room.
I looked around and saw that there was no other hiding place in the yard, and I didn't know which door the Taoist priest would enter after entering, so I simply hid in the gap between the two walls.
As soon as they entered, the Taoist priest entered the courtyard, closed the door with his backhand, and reached out to pull up a string of anti-theft bells beside the door.
It was a small bell strung with transparent fishing line, and there was a big fist-sized bell at the end of the fishing line.
The middle-aged Taoist priest put the string of bells across the wooden door, and after circling the door frame, he walked to the door of the second room with the bells, hung the big bell on the window lattice, and gently shook the fishing line, and all the bells sounded.
After a crisp sound, he stepped into the house.
It wasn't until I heard the Taoist priest closing the door that I was ready to step out.
He has no cultivation skills. Even if he is not asleep, as long as I deliberately don't make any footsteps, there is no way he can hear my movements.
"Junior brother He Shan, master asked me to ask you, did someone come in just now?"
I was just about to go out when a clear female voice sounded in the yard.
The middle-aged Taoist priest named He Shan heard the sound and quickly opened the door again and said: "Senior Sister Baiyun, a little thief just came here and wants to steal the charity money in our merit box."
It turns out that the middle-aged Taoist priest is named He Shan, and the woman who spoke is named Bai Yun.
When He Shan spoke to that Bai Yun, his voice was filled with incomparable respect.
I quickly retracted my extended leg slightly.
"Little thief?"
The Baiyun muttered: "Be alert, if someone comes, go out and take a look!
Master said that the man we just captured was accompanied by a woman, and that woman looked not simple.
Although she definitely won’t be able to find her way here, we’d better be careful!”
"How about I go to the main hall and light a lamp to keep watch. If a woman comes over, I can notify the master in time!" He Shan said flatteringly.
"No need!"
Baiyun said: "You go to the main hall to light a lamp in the middle of the night. What if that woman finds this place and is unable to see Liuyun Temple, but instead sees the light and is attracted to her?"
"Oh, that's it, that's it!"
He Shan repeatedly said: "Then you go and help Master refine the spiritual Buddha. I'll keep an eye on it!"
That Bai Yun didn't speak anymore. After a while, the sound of He Shan closing the door was heard again in the yard.
I didn't hear Baiyun's footsteps, but I didn't feel any yin energy either.
The strange thing is that I didn't even feel any evil energy.
There was clearly some evil energy left on the stone statue in the main hall. Judging from Bai Yun's tone, she was assisting her master in trying to refine Dongzi into some sort of spiritual Buddha.
Although I haven't seen what the Spirit Buddha is, using the soul of a living person to refine the Spirit Buddha, if you think about it with your toes, you will know that it is a witchcraft.
The strange thing is that even though evil arts are being practiced here, I don't feel any evil spirit at all in this small courtyard.
After waiting for a while, I was sure that the woman named Baiyun had left, and then I slowly poked my head out of the gap and looked into the yard.
I don't know when the moon broke through the clouds and came out, and its silver glow spread across the yard, making it a silvery white.
There wasn't a soul around.
I slowly opened the spiritual door again, let the spiritual energy form spiritual tentacles, and probed towards the third room.
Hearing Baiyun's voice, it was on the left hand side of He Shan. Calculating this, even if it was the closest, it was still in the third room.
There was only one bed in the house, and there was no one on the bed.
I poked my head into the fourth room, which was still an empty bedroom. It wasn't until I poked into the seventh room that I felt there were three people in the room.
To be precise, one person and two yang souls.
One of the Yang souls, needless to say, belongs to Dongzi. This chapter has been completed!
